We needed a new bed, so I decided to clean the garage of old wood scraps.
Tool List: Drill and screws, jigsaw (or handsaw), orbital sander (or sandpaper), nail gun (or hammer and brad nails), miter saw (or handsaw), polyurethane and a paintbrush.
Material list: 2 wood pallets, 2 – 4×4 posts cut to 54″, 2x4s and 2x6s to make the bed platform (I have a double bed so the finished product is 53″x74″, 1 – 2×6 cut to 57″ to make the ledge on the headboard.
This project took me an entire afternoon with power tools. It can still be done without power tools, but will take you longer than an afternoon, since there are a lot of cuts to be made.
